[Bug 998366] Re: Grub crashed during installation

[Phillip Susi]

Those are just warnings, not an error, so that was a red herring.

The real problem was that grub was being installed to an individual disk
instead of the raid array.  Did you pick manual partitioning or one of
the automatic options?  Does this still happen with 14.04?


** Summary changed:

- grub installation failed due to occupied boot track
+ Grub crashed during installation

** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu)
       Status: Triaged => Incomplete

Title:
  Grub crashed during installation

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The process of installation goes well until the installation of Grub. It then crashes, and let the system in a complete unusable state: no more Windows MBR, nor valid Grub to boot Linux. I tried twice, each time with a full format of my Ext4 / partition.
  Maybe is it related to the fact I try installing Linux on a RAID device...
